Emergency: If you have uncontrolled bleeding, severe pain, or a serious injury — go to the nearest emergency unit.

We offer safe, respectful women’s health services with appropriate counselling and consent.
Some women’s health procedures are sensitive and require careful, confidential discussions. We handle these consultations with respect, privacy and clear guidance.
Your appointment
We assess your condition, discuss options, and confirm that a procedure is appropriate.
You receive a quote, then we book a dedicated procedure slot (time depends on the procedure).
We’ll tell you what to bring, what meds to avoid (if any), and whether fasting is required.
We explain risks/benefits, get consent, and use local anaesthetic when needed.
Performed with appropriate technique and infection control.
You receive aftercare instructions and we book follow-up if required.
Tip: For wound sutures or abscesses, early assessment is best — don’t wait until it worsens.
Bring your medical aid details and ID/passport. If you have authorisations, bring those too.
Include blood thinners, aspirin, supplements, and any allergies (especially to local anaesthetic).
Wear comfortable clothing, and bring a support person for longer procedures if advised.
